Wow, thanks for sharing. Can you let us know the progress as it travels
from the Parker factory to the dealer?

Based on the reasons you gave for the trade, it looks like a much
better tool for your needs. Hopefully you can get a lot more use out
of it than the old one. I am somewhat short of knowledge with boats
that size, but it looks like it could take a little crap if you got
stuck out. Whats the sheer to floor height at midships? I like deep
floors and high sides as my boating is still dual use, fishin' and
family play and the Mrs. likes high sides. Not knowing any better, she
feels safe in my old Brockway, but probably would not even step into
our friends Ranger, or my other friends deck type bass boat.

Anyway, still up on that chair Harry? Startin' to get a little
concerned :O

Nice boat! Thanks for supporting the local economy... :-)



Parker is a first-class company. Never had any problems. When I call to
ask a question, I end up talking to a member of the Parker family.
Certainly better than who you get at most boat companies.

Very nice. When will it be delivered? Will you be keeping it on a trailer
or in the water?

It arrived at the dealership at 4 pm today, according to "highly placed
sources." It'll be on a cradle dolly by tomorrow morning. My trailer
doesn't arrive until sometime next week. It'll be a trailerboat. In
fact, that's one of the main reasons why I downsized Parkers. The
25-footer was just "too much" of a trailerboat for my taste.

I just machined out a stainless steel backing plate for a piece of deck
hardware I'm installing. Been a long time since I've done that sort of
metalwork. I ordered the boat sans front deck "hardware" so I could have
it "my" way.

Got a buncha electronics to install, too. I'm letting the dealer install
a through-hull transponder, though. I don't "do" holes in the bottoms of
boats, at least not deliberately.

What, a Parker or a Zimmerman style lobster boat?

I was trained in metalwork, not plasticwork.

No kidding.

I've got a full wood shop down in the barn, but I havne't used it in
years. I have this habit of slicing/cutting/sticking tools into my
body for some reason - Mrs. Wave finally forbid me from using the
tools without adult supervision. :)

I've never done much metal work although I worked for Heald Machine
Tool for several years after I left the computer biz.

I love to weld though - and, oddly, I'm pretty good at it - TIG, MIG,
Gas, stick - I love it. Don't do a lot of it, but I enjoy it. And
I've never hurt myself welding anything. :)

Never done much glass work. Might want to try it some time over this
winter - there are a few things I'd like to do to the Ranger - custom
this and that. At the shop where I hang out occasionally, they have a
first class glass guy - I just might intern with him over the winter
just to learn.

Working with fiberglass is not that difficult as long as you have the right
materials and know what it takes to seal or repair a damaged or newly
exposed area. ;-)

Thanks, but I shall let the dealers' guys drill any holes I need in the
bottom of the boat!

I am good at metal work and over the last 15 years have become very good at
wood work. I grew up around and in a machine shop. Dad was partner in one
of the bigger shops in the SF Bay area. So I could turn out cannons on the
lathe when I was 10-12 years old. As to welding, can not get my new spool
gun working on aluminum welding, but the new wire feed Lincoln is a great
toy. Just got to do a lot of welding a couple of weeks ago making a new
skate board rail with a kink in it. Fun. As to fiverglass, used to be
pretty good at it. Race a fiberglass bodied car, so got some fairly often
experience at repairing the body.
